The Colts backfield will look very different in 2018 than it has in recent seasons. With the departure of veteran Frank Gore to Miami, the Colts have a wide open competition.

Mack will be among those getting the chance to earn the starting role in the backfield, though it is most likely that the Colts use a running-back-by-committee approach with Frank Reich taking over the offense.

Still, Mack has a chance to take a prominent role in the backfield, despite missing the entire spring workouts due to undergoing shoulder surgery. He won’t be without his competition in Jordan Wilkins and Nyheim Hines.

Mack’s ability to break off a big play at any time is a reason the Colts like him so much and they are hoping he can continue to make strides Year 2.
